This is what you get when you shove a 991 GTS 3.8 engine into a Boxster:

Well when I said GT4 will have 3.8 I was not kidding.

And somebody even said "What, a new engine?"

It's already there, 991 GTS, isn't it?

Yes please!!!

I test drove a 987.1 Cayman once with a 3.8 X51 engine, I loved it and still wish to this day that I had bought it.

No it wasn't that one, although that car was also for sale when I was looking but not from that dealer, IIRC it was nearly 40K but this was about 2 years ago.

The one I drove was a Cat D black 06/07 987.1 that had been in an accident that had smashed the engine from underneath and the previous owner had bought it and changed the engine to a 3.8 X51 unit and put a GT3 front end on it as well. The car had a few issues (easily solvable) and the dealer was a total arse so I didn't buy it. There is a road test of it by 911 Porsche magazine online somewhere that I found quite a while after I looked at it, they rated it highly.
